Thank you to all of you who reviewed (though very few :D). I'm gonna try to straighten out any confusion in the next (2) chapter/s and keep writing, but I'll be gone for a while. Please R&R "friendly" criticism. Keep in mind as well: this is my 1st fanfic story. Thanx!

PS- keep in mind that fanfic means anything can happen!!! :)

CHAPTER II: Like Father, Like Son

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pietro awoke quite clearly and with an agonizing headache. He did quite a few double-takes before accepting the fact he was in Mystique's room. The only time he had seen the inside of the room before was when Boom boom blew the door down. Sure enough, her bags were still there, considering she moved back in with the brotherhood as soon as Mystique left again. He had no idea why he was there; he just remembered blanking out as soon as-

"Pietro!?" a violently loud voice yelled after brutally slamming open the door. Obviously, this didn't help Pietro's headache and he clamped both hands to his temples as fast as his power would let him. After the vivid ringing in his head stopped, he saw his twin standing in the doorway. What now? Was his first thoughts, but with further examination of her expression, he was shocked. Her face showed worry and concern; not something the speedy mutant got to see very often. Right behind Wanda was Tabitha trying to quiet her.

"Wanda, come here- down stairs- Pietro..." said Tabitha, but she trailed off as soon as Wanda shot her a look that clearly proposed that she wasn't afraid to hex Tabitha. "Or... –I'll just see you down stairs later. See ya'!" and quickly bolted down the stairs.

"Why are you here, Wanda? What happened? Why am I in Mystique's room and why can't I remember what happened?!" He shouted rising from quiet to yells. Yet again, he clutched his temples in pain.

"Well, for starters..." she let out an exaggerated sigh to signal she was not super-rapid like him, "You fainted."

"Good guess," Pietro replied, getting quite aggravated, or maybe it was just his headache.

"Pietro, you should be able to shut up for three minutes!"

"Bad guess," he smirked, "Just try and keep me to sit still for that long-" but stopped, realizing Wanda could, in fact, keep him still quite easily with the aid of her mutation. "Fine. I'll shut up- just hurry, please!" he motioned with a spin of his hand.

"Tabby told me that you fainted after getting pissed off with John, which I don't know why the two of you let in either of those acolytes-"

"But Gambit's part of the X'ies now!" the anxious teen protested.

"-AND she said after you did, a heavy-duty cage appeared around Pyro." She received an awed stare from her twin.

"I... w-w-wait... did... I? -I do that?" he stuttered, for once speaking slowly. Wanda shrugged, also staring quite blankly in thought. After opening and closing her mouth many times while gathering her thoughts she finally replied to the immensely tough question. Did he really do that?

"Tabby and I both think that you've gained new powers like..." she stopped for it was almost hard for her to say. "... like Magneto, but we think that you can create metal; not manipulate it." She bit her lip quite confused, and then walked out of the door to let him think on his own.

The dove haired mutant stared down at his hands, almost sad. "Like Magneto?" he said aloud in a shaky whisper. Why did I faint, though? That doesn't happen when he uses his powers... he stopped, wide eyed. Or has he just overcome it? With final questions, his head ached massively again and forced himself upon sleep.
